Riding Simulator Lessons in London

I am now offering lessons on a riding simulator on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Imperial Wharf, London. These lessons will be available until mid April. Lessons can be booked through The Constructive Teaching Centre website or via phone at 020 7727 7222. Prices and lessons times are also posted at the site. If you have specific questions about the simulator please feel free to contact me directly.

I have taught with riding simulators in the past and appreciate them as a terrific bridge between the Alexander Technique work I do on the ground using a wooden horse and the mounted riding lessons I teach. The simulator allows students to work with the movement of a horse without the pressure of controlling the horse. It also allows me as a teacher to adjust the riders position during the movement, which is not possible in a riding lesson. The simulator I will be using works in 5 gaits (walk, trot, fast trot, collected canter, medium canter) and has sensors that measure leg pressure and rein contact.

Riders with confidence issues who would like to strengthen their riding in a safe environment

Riders recovering from an injury

Non-riders can benefit from the movement of the horse which releases tightness in the hips

Riding simulator lessons can be combined with more traditional Alexander Technique work at your request. I am also available for group lessons and workshops if your riding club is interested in having an evening or weekend session. The facilities of The Constructive Teaching Centre include a large room for talks and workshops plus lovely kitchen and reception facilities, perfect for a half-day or whole day workshop. Please contact myself or the centre with any specific questions.
